If those were properly named, they would be called "Nuke Everything disks".
If you had come here FIRST, we could have told you how to do this properly.

That's right.  Microsoft software is "licenced".
The "Product Key" is proof that your licence is legit.
Without it, you don't have a valid licence.
You'd best reconcile yourself to this RIGHT NOW--especially
if you ever plan to use the Y2001-and-later crop of headacheware from Redmond.

|which I lost a long time ago.

Reminds me of the story about the 1st time my Mom fixed eggplant.
She cooked them then scraped out the insides, threw that part away,
and served the purple outsides.

If you are going to continue to use MSFT's products,
you need to purchase a legit copy of that product WITH the Product Key
then treat that number as though it was the most important part of the purchase
(which it *IS*).

Flea bay is where most people go.

Another way to go is *truly* FREE software:

"gratis AND libre"
